Women Activists Head to Guatemala

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Applications are still being accepted for this year's STITCH Women's Language Delegation to Guatemala. The delegation - scheduled for June 7-15 - will take an in-depth look at the effects of globalization and immigration on women workers and explore solidarity tactics North American consumers and activists can take to support workers' struggles. Delegates will also receive one-on-one Spanish language instruction, meet with Guatemalan women workers and activists fighting for global justice, and travel to banana plantations to hear from workers affected by free trade policies. The delegation is open to women only; applications are due by April 14. For more info or for an application, contact STITCH at 202-265-3790 or email stitch@stitchonline.org
